"The auction has already started? Wasn't there still half an hour left?" Zhang Ling asked with a darkened expression.
"Senior, please understand, the auction has indeed started, but the first one is for Golden Core cultivators. The Nascent Soul level auction you mentioned will start in another half an hour," the red-clad girl said with a fawning smile.
"Heh, I see." Zhang Ling nodded, waved his hand, and spat out a storage bag, throwing it to the girl.
The red-clad girl quickly caught the storage bag, glanced at it, and her face lit up with joy.
"The hundred mid-grade spirit stones paid by you seniors are, as in previous years, only required for participating in the Nascent Soul level auction. Senior has already obtained the qualification and can now enter Azure Cloud Pavilion to wait for the auction to begin. If Senior is interested in the ongoing Golden Core auction, you can also participate with the token in your hand. By the way, Senior, please take a look. This contains the usage of the token and some introductions to the auctioned spiritual objects, which you can view yourself," the red-clad girl said, flipping her hand and taking out a white jade slip, handing it over.
Zhang Ling smiled and reached out to take the jade slip. His divine sense invaded it, and he instantly checked the information inside. The information engraved inside was simple, with only a simple method of using the token. After roughly reading it, he basically mastered it.
He shook his sleeve and took out the Azure Cloud Pavilion token, pinching out a few strange magic seals and hitting it. Immediately, a layer of colored fluorescent light appeared on the token, and it was activated. After entering the Azure Cloud Pavilion, he could use this token to bid and increase the price.
At the end of the jade slip, there were also records of dozens of rare spiritual objects, each of which was of considerable value. Most of them were marked as the finale items of the ongoing Golden Core auction. Among them, there were three Nascent Soul Pills, which were the finale treasures.
Zhang Ling felt a little strange in his heart. Because when he consigned treasures a few days ago, he took out a Nascent Soul Pill. One of these three might be the one he took out.
It seems that the other two were also taken out by other cultivators for auction. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to obtain such precious breakthrough pills like the Nascent Soul Pill.
It's not that Nascent Soul cultivators can't afford the spirit stones to buy this kind of spiritual medicine, but the raw materials for refining the Nascent Soul Pill are rare, and most of them are controlled by those large and small forces.
Zhang Ling had previously refined six Nascent Soul Pills in the Demon Wind Mountains. The Black Tortoise swallowed one during its transformation tribulation, and he himself used one to condense his Nascent Soul.
He took out one for this trade fair. Such rare pills are rarely circulated outside. Unexpectedly, three of them appeared at once in this auction list. Needless to say, the scene when the three Nascent Soul Pills are auctioned must be very lively.
Zhang Ling's body flashed with spiritual light, and he floated in the air. He flew towards the Azure Cloud Pavilion. The red-clad girl quickly released a flying sword, seemingly wanting to keep up, but her flying speed was far inferior, and she instantly lost track of Zhang Ling.
"I will go to the auction venue myself, you don't need to follow," Soon after, the girl heard a voice transmission in her ear. The girl smiled helplessly and returned to the ground.
And within these few breaths, Zhang Ling had crossed two or three hundred zhang, approaching the Azure Cloud Pavilion. Observing this huge pavilion at close range, one could sense a special spiritual pressure. It seemed that it was not an ordinary building, possibly leaning towards large spiritual implements such as warships and war boats.
The golden light in front of the Azure Cloud Pavilion was obviously a layer of restriction. As Zhang Ling approached, he shook the token emitting colored light, and a spiritual light shot out. Wherever it passed, the golden light immediately split open, revealing an opening. Without thinking, Zhang Ling transformed into a yellow light and rushed in.
Inside was first a passage dozens of zhang wide, leading to a very spacious hall, where the lights were bright, and a burst of enthusiastic shouting also filled his ears, and hot transactions were underway.
After Zhang Ling entered the auction venue, from time to time, some Nascent Soul cultivators in twos and threes also entered with tokens.
After more than half an hour passed, some Golden Core cultivators walked out from inside, and most of them left the island directly.
At the same time, nine bells rang throughout the Azure Cloud Pavilion, and the Nascent Soul level auction began.
……
Zhang Ling sat on a square stone pillar in a stone hall that was hundreds of zhang wide, looking at the central position of the space expressionlessly.
The area next to the stone pillar where he was was empty. There was another stone pillar more than twenty zhang away, and basically a cultivator was sitting on it.
The dense stone pillars were filled with the ground, and the bottom of each stone pillar could not be seen. The ground seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. The top of the head was also gray and could not be seen, occasionally emitting spiritual lights of various colors, as if in the night sky.
In the very center, there was a white jade stone pillar emitting a faint white light, like a platform. A charming woman in a purple dress was displaying a huge fiery red jade stone.
"Earth Fire Rock Essence, produced from the spiritual mine deep in the fire vein. The Fire Rock Essence in the hands of this concubine weighs three thousand six hundred catties. Fellow Taoists who practice fire attributes must not miss it. This item is enough to refine a top-notch fire attribute magic weapon. The starting price is 400,000 spirit stones, and each increase must not be less than 5,000 spirit stones."
The charming woman was the beautiful female demon who received him, with the strength of the eighth-order peak. Her voice was soft and beautiful, and her every frown and smile revealed a variety of amorous feelings, attracting the attention of the cultivators present.
Being watched by many cultivators, and even scanned by the divine senses of hundreds of Nascent Souls, the woman did not feel the slightest discomfort, and kept introducing the treasures in her hands. If it were ordinary cultivators, being noticed by the many Nascent Soul cultivators present, it would be difficult to have this composure.
"500,000 spirit stones."
"This old man bids 560,000 spirit stones."
However, there were not many voices for price increases, only seven or eight voices were increasing the price. In the end, an old man auctioned it off for 660,000 spirit stones.
Earth Fire Rock Essence is indeed a good fire attribute material. The high-level puppets refined by Zhang Ling will use this material. However, the price of this Earth Fire Rock Crystal auctioned was 30% higher than collecting it outside.
This is also the reason for the small number of competing products, and this is also common. The treasures in the auction will generally be more expensive than collecting them outside.
Zhang Ling watched this scene coldly, with a normal expression. This Nascent Soul level auction has only just begun, and most of the cultivators are silently watching all this, waiting for the heavy treasures to appear.
In addition to Nascent Soul cultivators, some Golden Core cultivators also participated in this auction. For a time, the atmosphere of the auction venue seemed a bit suppressed, not as lively as the Golden Core auction just held.
